On the surface, the game is a generic third-person shooter without any complex spray patterns like in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Aiming is not hard in the game, but the building is. Combining the gunplay with the building adds a lot more depth to the game. If you are looking to ace the battle royale match, having the best settings is just as important as eliminating your player during an intense battle. These settings can easily be the difference between winning and losing. Every person wants to have the best possible settings to get the best performance possible in Fortnite to grab the Victory Royale crown. With the in mind, I have compiled this article with the necessary information which you can follow and lay waste to your enemies next time you hope into the match.
Best Settings For Fortnite
By best settings, what exactly do I mean? Well, everything. It includes every option that you can adjust to not only get the maximum performance from the system but also keybinds that professional players use to be the best at the game. Fortnite is a competitive game, and for a competitive title, you need the best performance, not the graphics. The extra 10-15 FPS can be the deciding factor between the Victory Royale and the second or worse place. With that being said, let us get to the best settings that you want to have in Fortnite for best performance.
Video Settings
Video Settings are the most crucial factor for getting the maximum performance out of your hardware and getting the highest frames per second during the match. We will be looking at how we can optimize the video settings to get the maximum possible frames per second that your hardware is capable of rendering. Question: What monitor resolution and refresh rate most pros use? Over 90% of professional players play the game on 1080p with over a 144Hz refresh rate. 240Hz paired with a 1080p panel is the favorite choice of the majority of the players. What are the best video settings that I can use? After researching, below are the best video settings that you can follow for getting maximum FPS in the game: “Display Settings“ Window Mode: “Fullscreen” is the most recommended window mode that ensures the maximum frame rate possible out of all window modes. If you are a content creator, you can set the window mode to “Borderless Fullscreen”. Resolution: Set the display resolution according to your monitor’s native resolution. If you face lower FPS due to an older GPU, you can try lowering the resolution. For example, if your monitor is 1080p, set the resolution to 1980*1080. Frame Rate Limit: Set the value to Unlimited. “Graphics Quality“ Quality: If your system can run the game at high resolutions with ease, you can set the value to “EPIC”, or you can also set the value to “AUTO”. 3D Resolution: For low to mid-budget systems, you can either set this to your monitor’s native resolution. If you have issues with FPS, you can lower the values. View Distance: To get the maximum FPS with any rig, the recommended settings for View Distance is “NEAR”. If you have a high-end system, setting the View Distance to “MEDIUM” or “FAR”. At the cost of a few FPS, you will be able to detect enemies from a distance. Shadows: Set the shadows to “OFF” Anti-Aliasing: Turn Anti-Aliasing to “OFF”. This setting has the biggest impact on FPS. If you have a high-end system, you can set it to “EPIC”. Textures: Set Textures to “LOW” Effects: Set Effects to “LOW” Post Processing: Set this setting to “LOW” “Advanced Graphics“ Vsync: If you have a high-end rig or a medium/low budget rig, turn Vsync to “Off”. Motion Blur: Set Motion Blur to “Off” Multithreaded Rendering: Set Multithreaded Rendering to “On”
Game Settings
Game settings are settings related to gameplay including, combat, movement, and building. You can go through with each setting and set it as per your needs. Like “TOGGLE SPRINT” you can turn the setting either “On” or “Off”. You can test each of these settings in the game and set the values as per your requirements. The notable settings that will affect your gameplay are: Matchmaking Region: Set the matchmaking region to the closest server with the lowest ping. You can also set the Matchmaking Region to “AUTO”. Sprint by Default: Setting Sprint by Default to “On” will make your character always spring instead of running. You always want to sprint in the game. Confirm Edit on Release: Set the Confirm Edit on Release to “On”. This option will automatically confirm an edit as soon as you leave the select button edit. This would allow the players to edit faster.
Game UI (HUD Options)
This segment is for configuring your HUD to your desire. The Game UI setting contains several options that you can tweak and adjust to your needs. Some of the popular and important settings are: Reticle Ammo Indicator: Set the “Reticle Ammo Indicator” to “On” will show an ammo indicator that will tell you how much ammo you have left in your weapon. If you want as little stuff on the HUD, you can leave the option to “Off”. HUD Scale: It is the multiplier that adjusts how much space the HUD is going to cover on your monitor. You can adjust the scale and test different values and check which percentage scale you want your HUD to scale. Some people want more game areas on their map than HUD, so they set the value to a lower percentage than the default value (100%). Show Spectator Count: You can set the Show Spectator Count to “Off” if you get nervous while being spectated. Otherwise, let it “On”. Quest Progress: Having too much information on your HUD can be distracting. You can set the Quest Progress to “Off”, and it will hide the progression of any ongoing quest. You can set the rest of the settings to “On” as they provide crucial information related to your character’s HP, MP, ammo, inventory, and so on.
Mouse And Keyboard Settings
This section allows you to adjust your mouse and keyboard settings. Almost every game developer allows the player to adjust the mouse and keyboard settings. In this section, adjust the following for the results in-game: X-Axis Sensitivity: Adjusting the X-Axis Sensitivity will adjust how fast your mouse will move in the horizontal (x-axis) direction. Higher values will make the camera move faster when you are looking left to right. Y-Axis Sensitivity: Adjusting the Y-Axis sensitivity will adjust the mouse sensitivity when moving in the vertical (y-axis) direction. Higher values will make the camera move faster when you look up and down. These values highly depend on the DPI of your mouse. If you use your mouse with high DPI settings, my suggestion is to test different lower percentages starting from as low as 5%. Also, make sure to keep a 1:1 ratio between both axes. Keep following the guide as I will be discussing mouse settings in detail. Controller options: Follow this section only if you play the game with a controller. There are four controller presets made by Epic Games, which you can use, plus they also provided an option to create your controller preset. These four presets are:
Old School Quick Builder Combat Pro Builder Pro
My recommendation is to make your custom preset. You can customize your controller preset after selecting the Wireless Controller Settings. “Sensitivity Settings“ Build Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: This multiplier is applied when you are in build mode. Do not confuse this with mouse x and y-axis sensitivity. Setting the multiplier with a lower value will prove counterproductive. You want to have this multiplier set as high as possible. My recommended build mode sensitivity multiplier: 1.7 – 2.6x Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier: This multiplier is applied when you are in edit mode. The recommended ratio for setting the edit mode multiplier is 1:1. You can set the same multiplier for Edit mode as well: 1.7-2.6x Use Advanced Option: Set the Use Advanced Option to “On” will unlock advanced controller options. By accessing the advanced settings, you can configure your controller with more adjustable settings. It would take another whole article if I started discussing each of these settings. Try testing and experiment with different values to find the most suitable settings for your controller.
Audio Settings (Personal Preference)
Hearing is an essential piece of information that can be the deciding factor, especially in competitive games. Imagine you are in close combat against your enemy. If you have the proper settings, you can hear your enemies’ footsteps and kill them with ease. Below are some of the important settings in the Audio section that you can adjust to your liking: Sound Effects: These are the in-game sound effects like gunshots, footsteps, and so on. You might want to turn this setting loud enough so that you may not have trouble hearing your enemies coming clearly and prepare for any potential trap. The percentage can vary from system to system. You do not want it loud enough either too low. Voice Chat: Adjust the slider of this setting to a certain percentage so that you can easily hear the voices of your teammates in the game. Sound Quality: Make sure to set the quality to “High” so hearing any sound will not be an issue. It may impact the game’s performance. Licensed Audio: The other setting that you can adjust is the “Licensed Audio”. There are three options from which you can select:
Play: The game’s audio is played normally. It is the default setting. Mute Others: It will mute the licensed audio that other players play. Mute All: This option will mute all licensed audio if you or anyone plays it.
Keyboard Controls
This section of settings allows you to configure controls of your keyboard settings. You can use the default preset or the old school controls for Fortnite. It is recommended that you should set your custom preset. This section is also a lengthy topic that I will not be getting into much detail of. Each player has different preferences, and you will yield the best results after you go through each of these settings and set them accordingly. When you are deciding the keybindings focus on your playstyle and comfort. For starters, try changing each of the settings and test them out in the game. If you can comfortably press that specific keybind in a match, do not change and move on to the next keybind. Your priority should be the building keybinds, as they are necessary to master if you aim to become the best at the game. I will discuss the keybinds later in this article.
Wireless Controller Settings
Not to be confused with the controller settings section, this option allows you to configure your controller. As previously mentioned, there are four presets to choose from. The majority of the players play with the “Combat Pro” or “Builder Pro” controller configuration. If you know your gameplay style and the keybinds, which you can press comfortably, you can edit your own “Custom” preset. Under the “Wireless Controller Configurations” select “Custom” and start tweaking each button. There are two types of controls that you can tweak; Build Controls, Combat Controls. You can configure each of these types to your desire. Below is the list of controls that you can edit after choosing “Custom”:
L2: Unbound L1: Reset R2: Select R1: Unbound D-Pad Up: Inventory D-Pad Left: Unbound D-Pad Right: Squad Comms D-Pad Down: Emote/Replay Triangle: Toggle Pickaxe Square: Unbound Circle: Confirm Cross: Jump L3: Unbound R3: Unbound Touch Pad: Map Options Button: Game Menu
It is a lengthy discussion that I cannot cover in just a single section.
Account And Privacy
There is nothing much to discuss in the Account and Privacy section. There are a few things that you can apply to your account. The most important thing to make your account secure is by enabling 2-factor authorization. By enabling 2FA you will make your account a lot more secure. Below are some options you can adjust: Hidden Matchmaking Delay: Set the Hidden Matchmaking Delay to “0 Seconds” will remove the random delay during matchmaking. It will also hide the matchmaking status updates. You can set the delay from 0 to 100 seconds. The delay is chosen between 0 and the seconds you have selected. Mature Language Filter: Setting the Mature Language Filter to “On” will censor any repulsive, bad, and racist words, which you will see a lot in your pubs. If you have no issues with bad words, you can leave it to “Off”. Notify Friends When Playing: You do not want to bother your friends every time you hop into Fortnite, right? Turning this setting to “Off” will not send a push notification to your friends on mobile devices as soon as you are in the main menu of Fortnite. You can adjust the rest of the settings to your needs.
Controller Options
Follow this section only if you play the game with a controller. There are four controllers presets made by Epic Games which you can use, plus they also provided an option to create your controller preset. These four presets are:
Old School Quick Builder Combat Pro Builder Pro
My recommendation is to make your custom preset. You can customize your controller preset after selecting the Wireless Controller Settings.
PC Optimization & Settings
Unlike consoles, you can optimize your PC in-depth to squeeze the extra performance out of your rig for some extra FPS. Unless your rig is capable of running the game with over 140 FPS effortlessly and have a low to medium budget PC, which the majority of the people do, feel free to skip this segment. Windows is notorious for bloatware running in the background and using extra system resources that you want Fortnite to use. With that said, I have everything a person needs to optimize their PCs for Fortnite in this article.
#1- Update Windows 10 To The Latest Version
Updating the operating system with the latest version is a solution to not just poor gaming performance but also an answer to several bugs and Windows related issues, like security threats, bug fixes, and more. Make sure that your Windows 10 is up-to-date with the latest version. Updating Windows is easy and can be done in a couple of minutes. To check for the latest updates: During updating, your system will restart a couple of times. For these updates to take effect, you will need to restart your PC.
#2- Disable OneDrive
If you open the Task Manager, you will find several applications running in the background, taking the extra amount of system resources. OneDrive is one of these applications that tend to run in the background, and multiple users have reported it to suck up the internet, as well as the CPU. Fortunately, if you do not use this Microsoft service, you have the option to disable or delete OneDrive. In some versions of Windows, you might not be able to delete OneDrive. In such cases, you can hide OneDrive. How to Uninstall/Delete OneDrive Here is how you can delete OneDrive in Windows 10: Disable/Hide OneDrive To disable/hide OneDrive, follow the steps mentioned below:
#3- Optimizing Discord
Some users on the web have reported issues related to Discord sucking up large amounts of CPU resources during gaming. On a decent rig, using Discord during gaming does not have a noticeable effect on performance, but it impacts the performance of a low to medium-budget PC. If you tend to play Fortnite with your friends, most people will likely use Discord for communications. Fortunately, you can optimize Discord without quitting the application during playing. All you need to do is: Turning off hardware acceleration will prevent Discord from using the GPU, allowing your system to allocate more resources to Fornite. You can also try updating Discord to the latest version and clearing the Discord cache files. More Discord related guides:

#4- Optimizing Google Chrome
Google Chrome is a notorious but one of the most used web browsers in the world. The browser often hogs higher amounts of RAM when a user opens multiple tabs on the browser. If you are already struggling with memory issues in Fortnite, you can optimize Google Chrome and prevent it from using a big chunk of RAM, which Fortnite could be using. The simplest solution is to just simply close Chrome from Task Manager. But if you want to keep it open for some reason, you can disable hardware acceleration in Google Chrome that will free up a decent amount of system resources that Fortnite can use. Here is how you can do that:
#5- Check Your Laptop’s Power Mode
Fortnite is not a demanding game, and it can run on any low to medium budget laptop with integrated graphics even but, it will not be the same experience as a high-end laptop, and you want any extra FPS possible. Laptops have different power profiles. You can select from these multiple power profiles. Low power profiles will allow the laptop to use less power to save energy, and similarly, a high energy profile will allow the laptop to run at maximum process state. To ensure that the games that you run on your laptops run at full power, here is how you can change the power state of your machine:
#6- Clean Your Temporary Files
Windows creates temporary files whenever you use a specific app. Over time when the files start to pile up, it tends to affect the performance of the system considerably. There are multiple ways that you can follow to clean the temporary files stored on your system. Method 1 – Using Settings I mostly use this method whenever I want to get rid of the temporary files. Here is how you can do that: Method 2 – By deleting temporary files manually This is the shortest and one of the quickest ways that can delete temporary files in no time. Here is how you can do that: Method 3 – By using CCleaner CCleaner is one of the popular temporary file deletion program that you can use. With a click of a few buttons, the program will free up space from your hard drive and delete it for you. It is a freeware that you can download from the official website. After downloading, run the software and perform an “Easy Clean” scan. The software will scan and show you the list of files that can be deleted. You can also clean the issues related to “Registry”.
#7- Update Your Drivers
Updating your drivers to the latest version is highly recommended. An outdated driver can potentially cause the game to lose FPS. The newer versions of drivers often contain performance optimization, bug fixes. You can update your drivers by:
#8- Disable Useless Applications Running In The Background
Several applications and bloatware are running in the background while you use Windows. It is the only operating system that allows so many applications to run in the background for improving the performance of systems. If your system is not a mid to high-end system, it will most likely suffer from these apps running in the background instead of improving the performance. Disabling these applications is a painful procedure and can take some time. You can uninstall these apps instead of just disabling them, which is quick and probably the best answer to bloatware. If you do not wish to uninstall the apps, you can disable them by: You can also set the “Let apps run in the background” toggle button to “Off” on the top of the window.
#9- Enable Game Mode
One of the last but not the least thing that you can do is to enable the Windows Game Mode. Not to be confused with Xbox Game Bar. You can use the Xbox Game Bar, but it may cause a slight performance decrease. Some people have reported a performance boost, while some reported about poor frame rate in many games. This feature is good as useless for high to mid-end systems. PCs that are struggling for system resources might be able to take advantage of this Windows feature. Enabling Game Mode prevents applications from running in the background, and chances are you might not be able to run Google Chrome, or Spotify, or any app that you frequently use while playing Fortnite. You might be able to get better performance in Fortnite by turning on the Game Mode feature. Here is how you can enable Game Mode in Windows 10: Try running Fortnite to check if you are getting the extra performance by turning on the Game Mode. You can turn off the setting by following the same procedure.
#10- Animation Optimization
The last section of optimization that we are going to do is by disabling animations that are played whenever you act Windows. Windows 10 has a lot of features implemented by Microsoft that add more to the aesthetics. Your system may suffer as these features come at a cost of system resources, which is not a big problem for decent to high-end computers. These fluid animations do enhance the experience of using Windows but also impact performance. Fortunately, it is possible to disable these animations to perform the system a little boost which will surely add a couple of more FPS while playing Fortnite. Here is how you can disable animations:
Best Gear For Fortnite
Selecting the best gaming hardware is a versatile topic. The peripherals preferred by one person might not be liked by others.

Best Fortnite Keybinds
The building mechanic is a very important feature in Fortnite that makes it different from other battle royale games. Mastering the build mechanics can help you get out of a sticky situation. If you are quick enough, you can even catch your opponent off guard by clever placements of traps during building. In short, the game becomes way more interesting to play if you learn how to build like a pro. Now, to build like a pro, you need a lot of practice and keybinds. I would highly recommend going through each of the keybinds and setting a more personalized layout. A general tip before we get started, try turning on the “Always Run” option in the settings. It will free your left shift key, which you can bind for building as it is one of the keys that can be easily reached. Let us take a look at the keybinds of some of the popular Fornite personalities. Ninja
Building Edit: F Roof: Left Shift Floor: Q Wall: Mouse button 4 Stairs: Mouse button 5 Trap: 5 Crouch: C Map: M Jump: Space Bar Harvesting Tool: 1 Use: E
Tfue
Building Edit: V Roof: Mouse button 5 Floor: E Wall: R Stairs: Q Trap: F Crouch: L-Shift Weapon slot 1-5: 2-6 Jump: Space Bar Harvesting Tool: 1 Use: Mouse wheel up
Myth
Building Edit: R Roof: D Floor: Mouse button 5 Wall: Q Stairs: V Trap: Mouse button 4 Crouch: L-Ctrl Map: M Jump: Space Bar Harvesting Tool: L-Shift Use: C
You can use these keybinds as a reference for your personalized layout. Make sure not to prioritize your build keybinds the most as our utmost priority to use these keys without even thinking twice during a match. Here are my recommended keybindings: Custom Scheme #1 – For Mouse with extra keys This scheme is for people who have extra keys on their mouse. Feel free to test them out in the game and change them if you are uncomfortable pressing any of these keybinds during a match.
Roof: E Floor: Mouse button 5 Wall: Q Stairs: Mouse button 4 Trap: T Crouch: L-Shift Map: M Jump: Space Bar Harvesting Tool: 1 Weapon slot 1-5: 2-6 Use: C
Custom Scheme #2 – For people who do not have extra keys on their mouse If your mouse does not have extra keys and use your mouse just for aiming and shooting purpose I do have a keybind scheme for you which you can follow but make sure to test them out before you hop into the match:
Roof: E Floor: F Wall: Q Stairs: V Trap: T Crouch: L-Shift Map: M Jump: Space Bar Harvesting Tool: Middle mouse button Weapon slot 1-5: 2-6 Use: C
Best Mouse Settings For Fortnite
Choosing the right mouse settings that match your gameplay style and make the game a breeze is one of the important factors that can make you a decent player and highly improve your aiming skills multiple folds. One of the crucial parts of the settings is choosing just the correct sensitivity settings. Before getting to the article, you might want to turn off mouse acceleration for better aiming performance. Here is how you can do that: Best DPI settings for Fortnite DPI refers to Dots Per Inch. It means how many pixels your mouse will move for every inch. For example, if your mouse DPI is 800, it means it will move 800 pixels when your move your mouse one inch across your table. Almost every person uses as lower DPI as possible. Having the correct DPI will play a key role in battles as it will decide how accurately you can aim and track your opponents amidst the match. It makes the player move the mouse frequently and a lot instead of having a high DPI. High DPI makes the mouse move faster even with just a small flick which can easily ruin your aim and will make tracking a lot harder. With that said, below are some of the DPI settings used by some best shooting games players:
Shourd: 400 Dr. Disrespect: 400 Ninja: 800 SypherPK: 400 Tfue: 400
Best mouse sensitivity settings Analyzing the sensitivity of your mouse is a difficult procedure. Two or more players can have the same sensitivity, but if their mouse DPI is variable, the overall sensitivity will vary. To solve this issue, players across Fortnite use eDPI to set the best sensitivity settings for their mouse. For example, if your mouse DPI is 800 and your Fortnite sensitivity is 0.15, then the eDPI will be 120. It is calculated by: Sensitivity * DPI A vast majority of the professional players have low-sensitivity settings. The average eDIP value that most players use is around 45-55. The average ADS (Aim Down Sight) eDPI is around 56-60. ADS eDPI is calculated by: Sensitivity * DPI * ADS Sensitivity Similarly, the suggested Scope eDPI is around 54-58. The Scope eDIP is calculated by: Sensitivity * DPI * Scope Sensitivity Feel free to test these values according to your needs, adjust them to the percentages you are most comfortable playing with.
Best Graphics Cards Settings For Fortnite:
Getting the highest possible frame rate can provide the players several advantages over players who are struggling to get a decent frame rate on their rigs. One of the huge advantages that a player gets with the higher frame rate is less latency. Usually, having a higher frame rate than your monitor’s refresh rate might make the experience less enjoyable due to screen tearing, but the card does not have to wait for the CPU to complete its calculations. The newly rendered frames will be on your monitor’s screen as soon as the CPU is ready. This reduced input lag. Whether you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU, you might be able to fully utilize your GPU performance. Here are the best settings that I have gathered for team green and team red:
Best Nvidia Settings For Fortnite
If you have never tried to tweak settings for your Nvidia GPU before, there are a couple of optimizations that you can make. Considering these optimizations, you might be able to get a noticeable performance boost in Fortnite. Here is how you can tweak your Nvidia GPU settings via the Nvidia Control Panel:
Best AMD Settings For Fortnite
If you have an AMD card installed on your system and have not touched any settings from the control panel, there are several options that you can use to optimize Fortnite as per your rig. Here is how you can do that:
Anti-Aliasing Method: Use application settings Anti-Aliasing Mode: Multisampling Morphological Filtering: Off Anisotropic Filtering: Use application settings Texture Filtering Quality: Standard Surface Format Optimization: On Shader Cache: AMD optimized Tessellation Mode: Off Wait for Vertical Refresh: Off, unless application specifies OpenGL Triple Buffering: Off Frame Rate Target Control: Disable
You can also create a specific application profile that offers advanced graphic settings on a single application basis. You can create the profile by:
While being within the Gaming section, click the “Add” button on the top right pane of the AMD Radeon setting window. Select “Browse”. Head over to the folder where Fortnite is installed and select the game’s executable file and click the “Open” button. Select Fortnite from the “Gaming” section and following the settings I have mentioned earlier for Fortnite.
Creating a new app profile will only apply the specific settings to just Fortnite. You might want to restart your computer. If you are unable to get the extra performance even following every section of this article, make sure that your system meets the minimum and recommended system requirements. You can check them down below:
Fortnite System Requirements:
Competitive games are developed with one major goal in mind, to be able to run on as many systems as possible. Fortnite is no different. Check the minimum system requirements to run Fortnite down below:

Do I Need A Scuf For Fortnite?
People who play video games, whether it is a single-player title or a competitive game, should be familiar with Scuf. Scuf is the manufacturer of custom game controllers built specifically for competitive shooters. Players need to press a lot of buttons while playing Fortnite if they are amidst a battle or just running to gather resources. When you are in building edit mode, you may face difficulty, With a typical Xbox or PS4 controller. Scuf controllers offer extra toggle buttons on the back, which can make building edits way more easily. You can also move your camera while you are in building edit mode, which you cannot do with a generic PS4 controller. It is not necessary to get a Scuf, but it certainly does help in pressing buttons in the game, which can improve the gameplay. In short, the Scuf controller is better than the console controller in various ways. Fortnite related guides:
